[Yukiguni.] Snow Country ... Translated ... and with an introduction by Edward G. Seidensticker. [A novel.]

With the brushstroke suggestiveness and astonishing grasp of motive that won him the Nobel Prize for Literature, Yasunari Kawabata tells a story of wasted love set amid the desolate beauty of western Japan, the snowiest region on earth. It is there, at an isolated mountain hotspring, that the wealthy sophisticate Shimamura meets the geisha Komako, who gives herself to him without regrets, knowing that their passion cannot last. Shimamura is a dilettante of the feelings; Komako has staked her life on them. Their affair can have only one outcome. Yet, in chronicling its doomed course, one of Japan's greatest modern writers creates a novel dense in implication and exalting in its sadness.

  • "The power of love and illusion shapes the lives of a young geisha and a rich Tokyo dilettante."
  • "Shimamura regresa al País de nieve atraído por la belleza de la estación y el tradicional estilo de vida. Pero vuelve especialmente por Komako, una joven aprendiz de geisha que conoció en un viaje anterior. Él es un hombre rico, de mediana edad, que intenta escapar de un matrimonio sombrío y de su vida en Tokio. Ella, una bellísima mujer vulnerable a sus propias emociones, que madura ante los ojos de su amante. El amor apasionado que Shimamura despierta en Komako le plantea un dilema: incapaz de corresponderlo, pero a la vez fascinado por su intensidad, optará por repetir y prolongar su estadía en las termas aprovechando la distancia perfecta que le ofrece la relación huésped-geisha. Un tercer personaje, la misteriosa Yoko, teje su destino al de la pareja, con el blanco de la nieve como trasfondo y presencia continua."@es
  • "Translation of Nobel prize winning Japanese novel."
  • "Novel on love themes."
  • "Shimamura is tired of the bustling city. He takes the train through the snow to the mountains of the west coast of Japan, to meet with a geisha he believes he loves. Beautiful and innocent, Komako is tightly bound by the rules of a rural geisha, and lives a life of servitude and seclusion that is alien to Shimamura, and their love offers no freedom to either of them. "Snow Country" is both delicate and subtle, reflecting in Kawabata's exact, lyrical writing the unspoken love and the understated passion of the young Japanese couple."
